2020 Map of Mesita Del Gato

About this map

Monte Calvario Cem sits as a central landmark in this high-desert landscape, located near the headwaters of Cherisco Cr and Puerto Cr. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent mesas and escarpments, including West Mesa and the layered elevations of Mesa del Medio and Mesita del Medio. This 2020 survey documents the complex drainage systems of the Pecos River basin, where seasonal watercourses like Cuervo Cr and Little Cuervo Cr have carved the earth into distinct geological features such as Cahon Bonita. The southern portion of the quadrangle is anchored by the landform of Mesita del Gato, with access provided by rural routes like Mesita Pass Rd and Webb Rd. The map also traces the administrative boundary between San Miguel Co and Guadalupe Co, showing how political lines bisect these natural plateau formations.
